“I think this course was excellent. Alan is a very effective lecturer. He has organized his class in a manner that both stimulates interest in the subject and successfully fosters effective learning in the challenging time-pressured environment of a 5-week summer course.”
“Alan is a great and responsible teacher, he is a very humorous person.”
“I thought Mr. Hou did a great job with the time that he had — he was efficient and effective while being mindful not to induce too much stress. I only wish the course was longer so that there would be more time to absorb all of the material, but that may be out of everyone's control.”Below is a screenshot of the whole comment section from Fall 2024 evaluation form:
